so how can any possible deals with china on human rights, tibet, hong kong, trade issues, how can thatange. the chinese are aware of this. a lot of their recent writing, they think that they can get leverage on president biden through the option, through dangling, you might say, we can really cut back on being the world's biggest polluter but we have to have some concessions from you and leave us alone on hong kong, taiwan and all of these other issues. that seems to be what will happen tonight and tomorrow in alaska. >> trace: so anthony blinken goes to as will ka. why with they meeting in alaska? >> well, each side claims the other asked for this meeting. each side wanted to have it capitol, either beijing or washington. somehow alaska is still american territory. we can claim a victory. but beijing is closer than washington. but this is the bickering going on. it's not good news about cooperation with china. shows there's very few concessions in the brief chase of the chinese delegation. they may be coming mainly to lecture mr. blinken and mr. sullivan. that's what they did with the

the relationship is the struggle of issues touching on xinjiang, hong kong, perhaps even taiwan or tibetthere is a heavy component or element of human rights contention. the next issue would be taiwan and china conflict. the chinese communist party was formed in 1921. and this was the centennial. the rhetoric has increased. the language of president xi jinping has also changed a little bit, in the sense that he does not completely forsake the possibility of using war. lastly, you can see it is a contention between eight italic terrien and open society with the rest of japan or south korea. >> countries around the region have been airing grievances about china. how do they expect the u.s. to bring this up with china? what response do they hope will be coming from beijing? >> i think that the main point is that they are expecting the u.s. is going to stand for the values it has expounds. the way secretary blinken has suggested concern about greater repression internally in china and aggression externally, so there is a list of areas of cooperation, one is broader trade competition that we
